“Mom, tell me what happened while I was away! Why did that angry mob come for me and Ziming?”

Pei Ge looked at the two mothers. Her mind was in a mess, and she wanted to sort out what had happened earlier.

She had already found it a little strange back in Greece.

In the days there, the places they stayed had no internet even if there was a computer. That perplexed her.

Furthermore, they were set to go to several places but made a last-minute decision to remain at the house by the Aegean Sea.

Even though she was the one who had made the request, the man agreed to it without hesitation. In fact, he even seemed a little relieved.

“Ge Ge—”

Both mothers exchanged glances, unsure of how to explain things to her.

Qiao Jingyun, at the side, picked up her phone and did a quick search.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Pei Ge pressed on, frowning.

Just as both mothers resolved to come clean, the woman at the side spoke.

“Oh, Ge Ge! Look at this! There are many negative comments about you online. Even though you’re not named, it’s clearly you that they’re talking about!”

She quickly walked over and took the phone from the woman when she heard this.

Looking at the malicious posts displayed on the screen, her expression turned bad.

“What is all these...”

She could not believe her eyes. Looking at the posts, she had no idea what had happened while she was gone.

Even though those people were strangers she could not bother herself with...

“Ge Ge, are you okay?” Qiao Jingyun gripped her hand concernedly when she showed a hurt expression on her face. “Don’t take their words to heart. They’re just jealous of you; don’t bother yourself with them.”

Even though Madam Ji did not like this woman, she still nodded in support of the latter comforting her future daughter-in-law.

“Yes, Ge Ge, don’t bother about it. It’s my son’s fault for not dealing with it properly. It’s not yours.”

Pei Ge moved her lips slightly as she listened to the two’s comforting words, but her frown remained.

“I know that I don’t have to be bothered by it, but I still think it’s ridiculous and...”

She narrowed her eyes, a hint of doubt reflected in them.

“I keep thinking that this happened too suddenly. It feels that someone is deliberately fanning the flames and manipulating the media against me.”

At this point, she had more doubts.

“I’m neither a big shot nor a well-known celebrity; how come someone is targeting me through the media?”

Unbeknown to her, the instant she spoke, Qiao Jingyun’s eyes darkened. She lowered her lashes to shield the expression that fleeted in her eyes.

Heh! This woman is surprisingly sensitive about such stuff. Still... no matter how sensitive you are, you can’t escape from my clutches!

“My husband and I think that it’s weird, too. Ziming has already gotten people to look into it. Anyway, with him back, no one can pull a fast one on us even if they try!” reassured Madam Ji as she held her hands.

“I know; Ziming will definitely protect me well,” Pei Ge said. A bright smile blossomed on her face when she heard her words.

Seeing how gentle the man’s mother was treating her future daughter-in-law, Qiao Jingyun only felt that it was such an eyesore.

She thought that she was good at acting and could mask her dislike for others; now, she did not want to keep it in anymore!

“Ge Ge, are you okay?”

As Pei Ge was talking to their mothers, Ji Ziming rushed toward them with poised steps.

She was touched when the first thing the man did upon arrival was to check on her.

“What can happen to me while I’m here. I should be the one asking you that!”

She hurried over to him and grabbed his hand tightly while eyeing him from top to toe.

She then sighed in relief when she saw that he did not have any signs of injury.

“You’re forbidden from doing that next time! I regretted it immediately after I got here with mom. No matter what, I shouldn’t have left you behind.”

She gripped his hand tightly, her eyes full of worry.

Even though the man was not hurt, she was still bothered by it.

“I’m fine. This incident occurred because of my lapse in judgment, so I should take responsibility for it.” The man reassuringly squeezed her hand upon seeing how nervous she looked.

“You keep saying that it’s because of you; what exactly happened this time? You refuse to tell me anything.”

She looked at him reproachfully; her eyes, appearing fierce and cute, were round from glaring.

“Okay, it’s over now. Let’s go home.”

“You must say it even if it’s in the past! If nothing happened today, did you intend to keep it from me?”

She scoffed lightly at the man, who was trying to evade the question. She glared at him and then gently twisted his arm.

“Okay, okay. Ge Ge, let’s get away from here first; this isn’t the place to talk.”

“Yes. You can properly interrogate your fiancé once we’re home.”

Both mothers began persuading her.

She only let the man off the hook because of their mothers’ words.

She glared at him again and then dragged him out of the exit with an expression that said, ‘I’ll deal with you later.’

Looking at the two’s interaction, both mothers trailed after them with smiles on their faces.

These four forgot about Qiao Jingyun and left her behind.

Looking at the couple tightly holding hands, a dark expression flashed across her face.

Great. Pei Ge, you’ve really angered me this time. I wanted to let you enjoy life a bit more; now... I’ve decided to end things earlier.
